Sorry to hear the dog is unwell again.
Ours suffers with bilious vomiting syndrome from time to time. That makes him not eat and then he vomits bile due to having an empty stomach and the bile irritating his stomach. Come to think of it he hasn't eaten his breakfast yet today so we could be in for a bile vomit this afternoon at some point!
Hopefully the vet can find out what is upsetting your pooch and put her right again. Hopefully nothing too serious.6 -
Hope the dog is better soon 🐶6

I had one a couple of weeks ago - customs to pay on an item I'd ordered from Ireland. Yes, I'd just ordered something, though I hadn't realised it was coming from Ireland. I got as far as the bit where they wanted bank details...! Then thankfully I thought twice, logged out, changed a few passwords (turned out my A mazon account was hacked but not completely) and the parcel was delivered without anything payable.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living.

The scams are disgusting and there are so many of them. I’ve had several phone calls telling me my t’internet will be disconnected in 24 hours....I don’t know if they wanted details from me as I put the phone down on them before we got that far. Surprisingly my t’internet is still working.
Hope the dog is feeling better and you haven’t got mess to clean up.January spends - £587.586 -

Looks like a trip to the vet might be in the offing because she's been like this on and off for a couple of weeks now. Just when she seemed to be so much better too.
In other news I think I very nearly fell for an email scam. I've been waiting for some tea lights I ordered from an Amazon seller in December not realising they were coming all the way from China! I've just received an email from Royal Mail saying they attempted to deliver the parcel this morning but no one was in. I got as far as clicking the reschedule and saw a form to fill in details. Thankfully I thought on because we were both in the house, there was no card through the door and no one knocked. I deleted the email straightaway. Hopefully nothing will come of me clicking the link. I had a look online and there is such a scam doing its rounds at the moment and they're after your personal details. The scammers seem to be out in full force at the moment, I don't usually click on links in emails unless I'm certain it's safe to do so but this one almost got me.Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8946 -

You can tell which are the scam emails by hovering over the sender details with your cursor. It will show the email address which will be nothing like the genuine email addresses. the companies the email purports to be from.8

I’ve requested a vet appointment for her tomorrow, had to request it online and they’ll get back to me. She’s had something to eat now and has been on the park, she seems ok but I just want to get her checked over with it being on and off. I could do with picking up some more flea treatment so it will kill two birds with one stone.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7
